"LIST PRICE" is the suggested retail price provided to Super Warehouse by our suppliers.
Super Warehouse makes no claim that these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price.
The retail price in your area may be substantially different.
It is not possible for Super Warehouse to know if the merchandise has been sold at the list price
at any time, any where, as we sell our products over the internet both nationally and internationally.
"Total Savings" reflects the difference between our price and the supplier provided list price shown on our sites.
Since actual retail pricing in your area may be different than the list price shown on our site,
you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
You may make a comparison yourself by checking the prices of your local retailers
or other internet companies before buying from Super Warehouse.
The Switch Fabric Module is the core of the 3Com Switch 8800 system. The Switch Fabric performs route calculation and provides all Layer 3 switching functionality. It also performs Layer 2 switching between interface modules and where on-board Layer 2 switching is not possible. Based on the address-forwarding table, the hardware performs line-speed switching of Layer 2 / Layer 3 data packets. VLANs, link aggregation, QoS traffic classification and prioritization, and ACLs (Access Control Lists) are also supported by the hardware. In addition to switching functions, the Switch Fabric Module performs control and management functions for the system. The management channel performs such functions as initialization and configuration of the system, data packet learning, protocol processing, and network management. It also provides environmental monitoring, software upgrade and interface module control. When a second fabric is installed in a Switch 8800, both switch fabrics are active, in essence doubling the performance of a switch compared to having just a single switch fabric; in addition, fabric resiliency is provided.
